tom1946 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Heres my Fender Squier Protone bass has one small indentation on the top It has an almost unmarked black body with contrasting red tortoishell pick guard It has a nice neck with virtually unplayed frets You will not find a better one! These are very highly rated guitars, do some google on the protone series and see the results, do not confuse with regular squiers as these are on a par with the early Jap ones Fender actually stopped production of these as they were affecting sales of the more expensive models, I can't tell this apart from my Jap Precision, it's that good. Made only for two years. Looking for £450 for this including a decent gigbag thanks for looking. Edited February 3, 2011 by tom1946
webby Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Very nice looking bass, but all I could find out about the protone's was that it was a 5 string. What year is this one?
tom1946 Posted November 9, 2010 Author Posted November 9, 2010 They made 4 & 5 string versions, this is around early 90's I think.
rmshaw37 Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 looks more like an aerodyne! i do like it when they can be bothered to paint the headstock body colour too! have a bump
Toad2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Hey there would you accept a trade for a peavey grind 5 string? thanks
tom1946 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Posted November 28, 2010 Hi, no sorry. Too many strings for me. Thanks anyway.

tom1946 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 This is really rare, I only know of one other.
karlfer Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Belated happy new year Tom. Is that jazz width at the nut? Anybody thinking about this, I have contemplated relocating to Guisborough so Tom can set up/service my basses Cheers, Karl.
tom1946 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Happy new year too Karl! I'm not sure about the width, I'll dig it out and have a measure after shopping.... Nice house for sale opposite us
Stuee Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Hi Tom, Sounds intriguing, but err.. where are the pics? P.S. I'm surprised it hasn't sold with a topic as LOUD as that! Edited February 3, 2011 by Stuee
tom1946 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 Hi Stuee, I took the pics down yesterday as no one expressed an interest. I can send pics if you are interested?
Stuee Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) To be honest, Tom, I almost definitely won't buy your bass (fiscally challenged as usual!) but I am interested in it, as I'm sure others are too. I watch the marketplace as much to learn about the instruments as anything, and having pics up of a rare bass like yours is useful to anyone who encounters such a thing in the wild. One thing's for sure, you won't get any offers without the pics! Edited February 3, 2011 by Stuee
